I really do not like the fact that they continuously preach about the way they play football and show disdain about every other way, branding everything else as &quot;anti-football&quot;. it is just not right in my opinion.<br /><br />You know Sid Lowe from Guardian had written a great article on the influence Puyol has had on Pique. Puyol has always been this shy, reticent kinda guy off the pitch...and Pique is overbearing. Together they form one of the best CB partnerships and a great pair of friends off the pitch. Just like Ronaldo and Kaka.Another Prick In The Wallhttp://anotherprickinduhwall.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651791705234442589.post-63729042148856199402011-07-23T01:26:12.495-07:002011-07-23T01:26:12.495-07:00They are like you say one of the best teams in his...They are like you say one of the best teams in history but it is going to their heads and now they think they ARE football and that everyone should view the game in the same way they do.<br /><br />No team and no person is above the game, no matter how great they are.<br /><br />Puyi has the patience of a saint, he&#39;s the one who got stuck with Pique, seems no one else really likes him beyond Cesc xDnataliahttp://twitter.com/arkularinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651791705234442589.post-13111515846173148542011-07-23T01:20:12.812-07:002011-07-23T01:20:12.812-07:00Those are quite my feelings as well. The Barcelona...Those are quite my feelings as well. The Barcelona DNA thing is way overboard. They are a great team right now, probably one of the greatest ever, but they are not the only team with a century old phiosophy or anything remotely like that. They&#39;ve bought and poached whenever they&#39;ve wanted to, pushed their weight with governments and the league whenever they&#39;ve wanted to, just like Real Madrid have done...yet the holier than thou attitude prevails.<br /><br />Secondly, if you want someone bad, pay up what he&#39;s valued at. Undervaluing one of the best players in the Premiership purely because he played for you at some time many years ago is disgraceful. What is more disgraceful is making comments like &quot;Cesc is suffering&quot; as a club representative about players who are under contract at another club and then say it was all in friendship! Unbelievable.<br /><br />btw, it&#39;s no surprise that the two players from barcelona I really love are puyol and iniesta. just like you and everyone else, I feel we love these guys because they&#39;ve kept their heads down and always let the game talk..and even when they&#39;ve been asked to comment on controversial topics, they&#39;ve steered away from it. The moc moc thing is quite irritating though :PAnother Prick In The Wallhttp://anotherprickinduhwall.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651791705234442589.post-522893735416142332011-07-23T01:13:22.214-07:002011-07-23T01:13:22.214-07:00he he he, this is so much fun.

I, for one, would always try to...Nice points Joan.<br /><br />I, for one, would always try to show off my country&#39;s colors when I win a major trophy, re: dani alves. The fact that a Spanish club won the UCL made Spain conspicuous through the absence of the national flag in the celerbations. I know that the club doesnt consider itself Spanish, but it was something I had foolishly hoped for at least from the other players..<br /><br />Did I say they have to score in a final to validate the youth system. Just as the propoganda engines strive to put forth what makes them feel important, this blog serves as a platform to raise other points which achieve the opposite, and I don&#39;t spare any clubs lol.<br /><br />Regarding the banners at Trafalgar Square, to each his own. What&#39;s not in good taste is not in good taste. Valdano&#39;s sacking was fair, objectively speaking. In fact, it was a season late. He should&#39;ve been sacked along with Pellegrini is what I personally feel. That doesn&#39;t change the fact that he was sacked in preference to a potty mouthed individual. It would&#39;ve been better had he been sacked before Mourinho was signed.<br /><br />I&#39;m just happy that no club is signing Luis Garcia and I hope he stays on at Levante for a couple more seasons, till the club achieves at least some semblance of sustainability. Regarding the ball boys, er well, I&#39;m waiting for the controversey to explode sooner or later :)<br /><br />I had kinda hopes Luis Enrique would be coaching Atletico, but looks like he may move to Italy in all probability.Another Prick In The Wallhttp://anotherprickinduhwall.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651791705234442589.post-20172965922124163082011-05-30T06:17:27.992-07:002011-05-30T06:17:27.992-07:00Nice article mate but i have some points.
Why do ...Nice article mate but i have some points.<br /><br />Why do Villa, Pedro or Iniesta have to pull out a Spanish flag ? They are playing for Barça not Spain. They dont need to demonstrate anything to anyone, they play for their country when asked and perform well, what more can you ask for ? Yes this is ageing Utd side but they made the final and won their domestic league title so they are still very capable of competing at the highest level. Oh and since when is having 8-9 youth products in the starting XI not enough ? Now a Catalan player has to score in a final to validate our youth system ?<br /><br />Naming Mourinho was a perfect touch, it was to shut him up and provoke him. You cannot expect fans not to send Mourinho a reply of some kind after the utter tripe he has been spewing against our club. As for Cruyff he is a numpty, he is progresively losing what little sence he had. Claiming this Utd side is stronger than the 09 side is crap imo but each to his own.<br /><br />How can Valdano not know why he doesn&#39;t get on with Mourinho ? Thats crazy, he`s kidding himself. He`s written articles in the past criticizing Mourinho and his style, then he presents him at the club ! As others have pointed out in other forums Valdano had his chance and failed miserably when he talked Florentino into signing Pellegrini so obviously Valdano`s credit with Florentino was some what lost. You cannot have such a high profile manager at the helm of the club and not give him the power he asks for. You Madridistas have been moaning for years that you needed a high profile manager who could lead the club in all aspects of the word and once you get one you question if the club is giving him too much power ? I dont think you Madridistas even know what you want.<br /><br />Luis Garcia has done a fantastic job at Levante really tremendous and i am surprised that no bigger club has approached him. I am totally against this new trend of he ball boys throwing the ball in play to waste time, the liga has be much more firm in terms of punishment to whoever does this but nothing will be done as always in the liga these things are simply ignored as the RFEF simply hopes or wishes this to stop.<br /><br />I thought id add a little tid bit, apparently Luis Enrique ex Real Madrid and Barça player will be managing in the top flight next season, what remains to be seen is if he will working in Italy or Spain.Joannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651791705234442589.post-3463019516761675932011-05-18T08:16:47.429-07:002011-05-18T08:16:47.429-07:00Thanks guys!!

Well, I recall Mou saying that the team will alternate between a 4-2-3-1 and a 4-3-3 at the beginning of the season. <br /><br />The comparison with what Pep did was only because rather than the team being a 4-3-3, Mou used a 3-4-3 which became a 4-3-3 once we were without the ball, similar to what Barcelona did against Atletico. Obviously Mou is tactically more accomplished than Pep is.Ashay K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15221523026326423508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651791705234442589.post-72669009632323625152010-11-05T07:20:31.560-07:002010-11-05T07:20:31.560-07:00Loved the review except for one thing, the system ...Loved the review except for one thing, the system that you say Mou &quot;borrowed&quot; from Pep is wrong, even before the season started Mourinho had already stated that he will use a system similar to the 3-5-2, if and when needed, just pointing out mate, don&#39;t give credit where it isn&#39;t needed. ;)Canteranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791535100265027889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651791705234442589.post-91253419598848189182010-10-13T19:19:18.924-07:002010-10-13T19:19:18.924-07:00LOL!
